PIT has also very likely clinched all 3 winter months of below normal temps, but above normal snowfall for Feb seems like a bridge too far.

Need 0.6” overnight to clinch that above normal snow season and get that out of the way before the March megatorch.

As of 4pm, PIT needed 1.3” additional snow to clinch an above normal snowfall season. That would seem to be pretty much a guarantee with whatever falls from this event from 4pm onward, the Tuesday night event, the Thursday event, and the early next week event.

Did they just ignore the entire 0z model suite?

Absolutely comical. Every single model except the euro had this storm in some form or another at 12z, and every single model that’s run so far at 0z has lost the storm. I wonder if that’s ever happened that quickly on 6 different models.

Next week is already trending away from the huge, extended torch, so maybe that’s a good sign that it’s not curtains for winter just yet.

I don’t know about you, but I thought this past November was a colossal failure. 0.5” against a normal of 2.4”. And October was even worse. We got exactly 0% of our monthly normal of 0.4”.

When 93 drops out of the normals (just five years away from that!), we’ll lose probably about a full inch out of that 7.6”.

You can’t weight March as heavily as you do DJF, imo. The blizzard of ‘93 has set an unrealistic expectation of March in the mind of any yinzer old enough to remember it.

I agree that we’re fairly cooked, but average snowfall from now until whenever snow is no longer possible is 15.9”. So we don’t even need 30% of that to get to normal.

I would give it a B+ if we don’t see one more flake of snow the entire winter, and I’d be inclined to give it an A if we get at least the 4.3” needed for this to officially be an above average snowfall season.

Yes, it was a gorgeous day. Looks like we’ll keep some snowpack, though looking at the extended it’s on borrowed time and will likely be gone this weekend. All good things must come to an end. I’m intrigued to see how warm we can get next week. 60s seem possible if not likely.

Knew it was the last week of March 2022. I did have to cheat and look up the exact date.

Off the top of my head, I can come up with a 14F to 76F swing from the morning of 3/29/22 to the afternoon of 3/30/22.

I did. Someone (and I won’t name names) being made a mod ruined the place.
